Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1606 - 369: Entering the Ruins, Crisis Descends
Previously on Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!...
With this in mind, Mr. Guan turned to Elder Monkey at his side.
Elder Monkey boasted solid strength, at the Middle Melting Furnace Realm level.
Elder Monkey caught on and glanced back at Mr. Guan, declaring, "I’ll go."
Mr. Guan gave a nod, instructing, "Prioritize protecting the Saintess and Caidie—forget the others."
Elder Monkey acknowledged with a nod, then vaulted straight into the gaping channel.
Meanwhile, the Ruins’ clouds started shrinking slowly, until the channel sealed shut completely.
It looked like nothing had ever been there.
Deep inside the Ruins, Chen Jie and the rest plunged headlong into the channel, realizing it burrowed right underground.
Sliding into the channel, it felt just like riding a chute.
The path inside sloped sharply down into total darkness, with zero visibility, though Chen Jie sensed wriggling underfoot.
The wriggling propelled Chen Jie sliding straight down.
Twists and turns abounded endlessly; Chen Jie lost all sense of time spinning through them until a steep ramp flung him skyward.
Peering below, Chen Jie recoiled in horror at the blazing magma waiting underneath.
Right then, the ramp hurled Chen Jie and others into the air, stripping their control mid-flight, heads down toward the magma river.
The sight filled everyone with dread—they could perish before the mission even kicked off!
Falling rapidly, Han Ling’er panicked and tried summoning Gang Qi to break free, but it summoned nothing but emptiness.
Han Ling’er discovered her Gang Qi wouldn’t activate whatsoever.
Cold sweat drenched her forehead as the descent continued in frantic freefall.
Liu Caidie then cleverly yelled, "Ling’er, palm strike towards me."
Han Ling’er blanked momentarily but grasped it fast, calling out, "Yes, palm strike towards those around you."
At once, everyone targeted nearby folks and unleashed palm strikes.
Neighbors reciprocated instantly, palms clashing head-on, booming as counterforce shoved them apart.
One group rebounded beyond the magma river’s span, the others hurtled to the cliff, stomping footholds into the stone wall.
Crack, crack...
Wall-running from there launched them clear of the magma river’s deadly glow, averting doom.
Step, step!
Everyone touched down drenched in cold sweat; that magma dip had been way too close—pure terror!
Han Ling’er swiped sweat from her brow and spoke to her neighbor, "Check if anyone is missing."
Hearing her, Liu Caidie tallied up: Chen Jiusi, seven guards, Han Ling’er, herself—no losses.
Han Ling’er probed her available power next, learning Gang Qi faced intense suppression here, limiting her to Wolf Smoke Realm.
This realization prompted Han Ling’er to question the group.
"Everyone, try the suppression on your power here, then report back."
They all tested their strengths right away.
Suppression clamped down hard on everyone’s power.
Chen Jie gave it a check too, managing Half-step Dragon Realm output; the suppression hit him less harshly than feared.
With that, the group started sharing their levels.
"Energy Transformation."
"Holding Core."
...
Strengths were called out one by one, until Chen Jie’s turn: "Energy Transformation."
